Hello Helen
It has been a while, and I’m back in Australia .Reflecting on how good
my train journey to Europe was. There were many highlights. Meeting
local people ,living their culture is probably one of the bigger ones.
But nothing would be possible without your perfect planning .I just like
to say to you, and all your contacts. A big Thank You. It surely was a
trip of a lifetime. Regards Max

RUSSIAN PASSPORT has
been operating a wide variety of programmes into Russia since 1989, starting
with university language study groups. As Russia opened up we introduced;

Russian train journeys at a real
price. We were the first to introduce homestay accommodation.

Others
pay more! Same bed, same cabin!

In 1939 Winston Churchill made his famous
statement that “Russia is a riddle wrapped inside in a mystery inside an
enigma”. Come and find out for yourself

Since then we have organised;

white water canoe trips into the wilds of Siberia

sent individuals and guided groups across Russia on the
magnificent train journeys

organised
varied special interest groups

continued to pioneer new routes.

We were the first to
explore the BAM Trans Siberian route - previously closed to foreigners. We
explored so much that our colleague, Athol Yates, wrote the definitive guide book for this
route - BAM Trans Siberian Route - which has been published by "TrailBlazers"
in the UK.

Trailblazers also publish the classic guide for this route, "The Trans
Siberian Handbook". Following this success Athol was commissioned by BRADT Publishing in
the UK to write a book for their rail travel series called, "Russia and the Ukraine
by Rail". To top it all off our research team was asked by TrailBlazers
to update their own ‘Trans Siberian Handbook’! All this experience results
in;

great trips

up to date information

reliable partners at
all stops means safety for you

accountability

You will also note our name is referenced in most of the
guidebooks relating to these areas. In fact we have helped many of the
guidebook authors travel around Russia.

Russia
in winter
is like entering a Movie! Those images we have seen in the theatre and on T.V. come alive!
Russian Winter Holidays.

We organise winter packages for Moscow,
St Petersburg, along with the Golden Ring. You can also board our special
winter Trans Siberian, or one of our small group expedition style tours to
the winter scenes of the Kamchatka Peninsula or the region of Karelia.
